Suickening the Conscience.

At the Cumberland Presbyterian
church last night Rev. Mr. Shaw preach
ed TO a good-sized audience from the
23rd verse Of the 18th chapter of Exodus:
FOR the Lord will pass through to
smite the Egyptians. and when he
seeth the blood upon the Intel, and on
the two side posts, the Lord will pass
over the door, and will not suffer the
destroyer TO come 10 unto your houses to
smite you" The minister preached q
very eloquent and impressive sermon on
the Importance Of the sinner having the
blood sprinkled on the lintels Of the
heart.
After the sermon and short exhorta-
tion, several persons arose in the audi
enoe for prayer. There will be meet
ing for young people In the basement Of
the church tonight at quarter to z
o'clock, and the regular services at
O'Clock In the church.

ODDS AND ENDS.

DR.. Robert A. Gum delivered a lee.
ture last winter. which Is just published,
in which he discusses from a scientific
standpoint the use OF alcohol in its vari-
GUS forms, and shows by cogent argu-
ment, that the wholesale denunciation
If alcohol by the prohibitionists is with
out foundation. He says that "alcohol Is
one OF the most valuable agents known
to mainland that-all the horrors OF
the excessive use thereof being weighed
and considered -''more injury than good
would follow IL mankind were entirely
deprived Of the use of alcohol" No man
has ever defended intemperahce-all ad-
init il to he an evil-but so is the NOR
phine habit and the excessive use of to-
bacoo, but the prohibitiOnists avOw n
desire to prevent the making of alcohol.
DIR. Gum says, "more injury than good
would follow il mankind were entirely
deprived Of the use Of alcohol" But
fanaticism Is blind and void OF sense.

Gen Terry InsnectR.

The inspection and parade OF the
United States military at this post by
Gen. Terry. took place with regular
army promptness at 1920 this morning.
There were three companies of in Infantry,
two companies OF cavalry and a battery
in line. The inspection in quarters and
barracks was thorough, and the condi-
Iion OF the troops was found to he salts
factory. Gen. Terry did not arrive In
the city until yesterday afternoon, the
arrangements for the Inspection were
not made until last evening, and the
men were not Informed OF the fact until
this morning. Gen. Terry still shows
signs of great feebleness; his recent sick
ness, from which he is just recovering,
having left him exceedingly weak. He
was accompanied by his sister, and by
Quartermaster j. g. G. Lee and his
wife; Col. Lee and his wife, long and
fsvorably known at this post from which
they were removed only few months
since. This Ia General Terry's first visit
to San Antonio since assuming COM
menced Of the military division OF the
Missouri Valley, aud his health being so
feeble it Ia not at all certain that he will
be able to do more than visit such posts
as can.be reached by train.
There was general regret expressed
throughout the city, this afternoon, that
the news OF the inspection had not been
made public, so that our citizens could
have had an opportunity OF witnessing
the parade and the military evolutions.
The day was SO balmy and the air so In
MIGRATING that had the matter been
made public, government hill would
have swarmed with people anxious to
enjoy the military spectacle. The troops
presented very fine appearance and
the evolutions Of cavalry and artillery
were really exhileratiDg. The band Of
the Eighth cavalry. OF which all San An.
tonians are justly 80 proud, was In all iti
glory on this occasion. and the strain,
of martial music that came floating ovel

success Of the new feed lie fully demon

were sold TO the local butchers at the
high price Of So % per hundred pounds,
but the majority Of them were shipped
to the Chicago meat market.
There Is one point In this item that
will make the thoughtful reflect. The
local butchers bought the fine meat at
81 cents per pound. high price mind,
and yet 1t ID retailed at 10 and 10 cents
per pound. As meat" is generally n
cash trade, the butchers business must
